The June 25 accident at the Grona Lund park in Stockholm “was caused by deficiencies in the ordering, manufacturing and testing of new support arms for the Jetline trains," the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority said. The 800-meter -long roller coaster opened in 1988 and was renovated in 2000, according to Grona Lund.
